The HPE P72985-005 is a rack server that fits in a single rack unit and delivers the compute power many modern workloads demand. At its core sits a 16-core Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y processor that starts at 2.0 GHz and can boost to 3.4 GHz, so virtual machines, hybrid cloud services, and containerized applications run smoothly even when the load spikes.
Out of the box you have 128 GB of DDR5 memory installed through four 32 GB modules. The platform can reach 8 TB, giving you plenty of room to grow as projects expand or new workloads appear.
Eight small form factor drive bays line the front of the chassis, and two 1.2 TB 10K SAS hard drives are already in place. An HPE MR408i-o hardware RAID controller with 4 GB cache handles data protection and quick rebuilds, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Redundancy is built in. Two 1000 W hot-plug Titanium power supplies share the load and allow replacement without shutting the server down. Five standard fans manage airflow, helping the system stay cool in crowded racks.
Networking and management are ready to go. A Broadcom adapter provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports, while HPE iLO gives administrators secure remote access for monitoring, firmware updates, and troubleshooting. Secure Boot and a Trusted Platform Module add a further layer of protection for sensitive environments.
This model is a practical choice for IT teams in data centers, co-location facilities, and branch offices that need a dense server for virtualization hosts, file and print services, or development labs. It supports leading operating systems including Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and VMware ESXi, so it slides into existing infrastructures without drama.
